Paolo Icaro's 'Dribbling' at Galleria Lia Rumma, Naples
Paolo Icaro's exhibition 'Dribbling' at Galleria Lia Rumma in Naples presents a selection of works from 1967 to 2021 that treat time and space as sculptural materials. The show opens with 'Cuborto' (1968) and 'CC' (undated), the latter deliberately left undated by the artist to reflect the gap between conception and realization. Other key works include 'Buchi 1.000.000+1' (1967), 'Spazio scolpito, con anima' (1967-2021), 'Cumulo di rete' (1968), 'Vetro affumicato' (1969), 'Scatola di Amalfi' (1968), and the new installation 'Azzurra' (2021), which uses a fan to create a rippling fabric evoking the sea. Icaro emphasizes that the visitor, not the object, is the protagonist, and that the works were chosen for their temporal connection to 1968, when he began his relationship with Lia Rumma through her husband Marcello Rumma in Amalfi. The exhibition aims to 'dribble' time and space, engaging the viewer in a phenomenological experience.
